Siheyuan: If I marry Qin Huairu, I will become stronger by showing off.

Chapter 543: Today is a great day that will go down in history!

this day,
Wu Youde stayed alone in the pavilion in the middle of the lake for the whole day, recalling the past events and scenes over and over again.

At night, he drank alone facing the moon.

On the table lay a large red certificate of honor with words of commendation inscribed on it and a person's handwritten signature at the end.

——Xiangyu.

Goodbye, I hope you have a good journey!
Gently stroking the certificate, Wu Youde murmured softly.

That night, he sat quietly in the pavilion in the middle of the lake for a long time...

Wu Youde came back just to see him off in person, which was also to fulfill the decades of friendship between the two men. He had no other thoughts.

Therefore, Wu Youde made a phone call and applied to be a pallbearer. Given his current status and influence, as well as the resources at his disposal, this somewhat special request was not excessive and was quickly agreed upon by his superiors and family members.

A few days later, the scene that moved thousands of Chinese people and influenced generations of descendants appeared...

That long street was filled with cries of grief...

Wu Youde was very low-key and completed the entire journey without saying a word.

The next day, he led his men back to Kowloon.

……

After returning to Kowloon,
There is good news from Times Communications. The network facilities including lines, computer rooms, and switching stations, which took two years to lay, have been completed and have undergone multiple tests and debugging.

Kowloon's first information highway is now open to traffic...

On the opening day,
Not only did newspapers and television stations throughout Kowloon report the news, but media in Europe and America also reported the news.

Countless people have been paying attention to the implementation of the whole area network in Kowloon, and there are different opinions. Some people are optimistic and think that this is an epoch-making attempt, while others are pessimistic and think that the current technology is still immature and can only be connected in a small area. If you want to connect the whole area...

It’s not realistic at the moment!

On the day when the Kowloon data center was turned on, many people from all over the world rushed to Kowloon to witness it with their own eyes...

In addition to those media, there are many experts and companies in the fields of electronics and information technology, who can be considered colleagues.

February 1, 1976.

As Wu Youde and the new Governor-General Beria Volker pressed the power button together, the computer room that cost hundreds of millions to build was immediately powered on and started rumbling...

This is just the beginning!
When the computer room was started up, everyone present looked towards the latest Pangu 2 computer on the stage, and they all stared at the computer's display screen.

"Sir, today is going to be a great day!"

Beriah-Wolker said with a smile to Wu Youde that he was the successor to Grantham, who had gone on a speaking tour in London at the beginning of last year in his campaign for the position of Prime Minister.

After a fierce competition, with the support of Wu Youde and Margaret, he finally defeated his competitors, became prime minister, and became the regent of the Great Eagle Empire.

In a short time, it became famous all over the world!
With Grantham gone, Kowloon was bound to welcome a new governor, and Beriah Walker was the candidate chosen by Margaret, Grantham and Wu Youde.

Beria Volker is also considered an old man in Kowloon.

Although he is not very old, only fifty years old this year, he came to Kowloon to take up his post with Grantham. When Grantham was not the Governor, he was Grantham's deputy.

After Grantham became governor, he remained Grantham's deputy.

Now that Grantham is returning to his country to step onto a higher stage, for the sake of stability in Kowloon and to continue to maintain the current good development trend, he was kept here, which can be regarded as leaving him a good stall.

Wu Youde smiled and nodded, and said with certainty: "Your Excellency Governor, history will remember this day. You and I are the protagonists of this day!"

“Haha, that’s wonderful!”

Belia Volk laughed, his deep blue eyes fixed on the computer next to him.

At this time, the computer had already been turned on, and the desktop background was still the blue sky and white clouds, but there was a small window floating on the desktop.

At the top of the window were four small words: [Times News].
Below is a blank space, and in this large blank space there is a column of icons that divides it into two halves. Each icon has a different style and color, and seems to have a different use.

While everyone was waiting,

Suddenly, there was a "dong dong" sound coming from the speakers next to the computer. The sound was very similar to knocking on the door. This sudden sound immediately attracted the attention of everyone in the room.

Then they saw the window on the computer. There was a yellow light emanating from the edge, and a line of words suddenly appeared in the white area.

This line of words was immediately projected by the camera onto the large screen at the back so that everyone in the audience could see it clearly.

[Hi! Ladies and gentlemen, hello everyone! Today will be a day to witness a miracle...]

boom--

The whole audience was silent, followed by a burst of exclamations!

The whole place was in an uproar! ! !

Everyone stared with eyes wide open, looking at the words full of mystery and expectation on the big screen in disbelief. It was as if an invisible force instantly grabbed everyone's heart, causing their breathing to become rapid.

The experts were all stunned, their originally calm and confident faces were now filled with shock.

Some experts stared at the screen with their mouths slightly open, without blinking, as if they were under a spell.

The notebook of a senior scholar wearing glasses slipped quietly from his hands, but he was unaware of it. He just stared at the computer, thinking rapidly in his mind about the principles behind this technology and its possible impact.

Another expert, with his hands trembling slightly, adjusted the frame of his glasses, trying to see more clearly, with an expression of disbelief on his face.

They looked at each other and saw the same shock and confusion in each other's eyes.

An old expert with gray hair pointed to the computer screen with a trembling hand and said in a hoarse voice: "This... How is this possible? Such real-time communication and such a connection across space are simply incredible."

The media reporters were like being struck by lightning and instantly went crazy.

Some of them held their cameras high and kept pressing the shutter button, their faces filled with excitement and excitement, as if they were capturing a great discovery of the century. Some reporters opened their mouths wide and almost dropped the microphones in their hands. They tried to calm themselves down and wanted to pass on this shocking news as soon as possible.

While pressing the flashlight frantically,
Their brains raced, trying to find the most appropriate words to describe the shocking scene before them.

“This is a technological revolution!”

“Times Communications has opened a new chapter!”

All kinds of exclamations kept popping up in their minds.

A reporter excitedly shouted to the camera: "Dear viewers, did you see that? We are witnessing history! A brand new Internet era is coming!"

Other reporters were moving among the crowd, looking for the best shooting angle. Their steps were hurried and flustered, but their eyes were shining with fiery light.

Ordinary people were also overwhelmed by this sudden miracle.

They never thought that they could chat with people far away in real time through such a computer.

The young people jumped up excitedly, waving their hands and cheering loudly.

Their faces were full of surprise and curiosity, as if they saw a whole new world opening up to them.

A girl tightly grasped the arm of her friend, tears in her eyes, and said excitedly: "This is amazing! We can communicate with people far away at any time in the future."

A middle-aged man stood there blankly with his mouth slightly open. It took him a long time to come back to his senses. He touched his head, as if wondering if he was dreaming.

"It's like magic. What a difference our lives will make in the future!"

An old man said with emotion: "I have lived for so long, but I didn't expect to see such a miracle. The world is really becoming more and more unimaginable."

……

In this moment of shock and excitement, time seemed to stand still.

People's eyes were fixed on the computer screen that seemed to have magical powers, expecting more miracles to happen.

A slight "dong dong" sound came from the speakers again, like a mysterious drumbeat, hitting people's heartstrings again and again.

The words on the screen continued to jump...

【Let us start this journey of dialogue across time and space together. 】

As this sentence appeared,

The chat window on the desktop slowly expanded, eventually filling the entire screen.

The words in the chat box continued to jump, like a string of keys opening the door to the future.

[Friends, the impact of this new technology we are bringing now will far exceed your imagination! ]

[In the past, people had very limited ways to obtain information. Letters often took a long time to deliver. Telegrams were fast but expensive and their content was brief...]

[However, from now on, these will become history! ]

【With the Internet, everyone in the future will be able to "know what's happening in the world while sitting at home", and information transmission will be convenient and fast, and there is no need to wait anymore. Even if you are thousands of miles away, on the other side of the ocean... as long as you connect to the Internet and click the mouse, the message will arrive! 】

[No matter where you are in the world, with just one click, news and developments from all over the world will be displayed in front of you. You can learn about the changes in the political situation on the other side of the ocean in real time, feel the cultural charm of foreign countries, and appreciate the natural scenery of distant countries. ]

[For example, when the US election is in full swing, you can see the candidates' speeches and the public's reactions firsthand; when an art exhibition in France opens, you can appreciate those exquisite works as if you were there in person...]

[From now on, there is no longer any distance between the worlds, and the boundaries of knowledge are infinitely expanded! ]

The people at the scene listened attentively, and the experts' minds were working rapidly.

A sociologist stood up and said excitedly: "This will greatly change people's way of cognition and thinking. In the past, people's vision was often limited by geography, but now, through the Internet, we can be exposed to a variety of different viewpoints and cultures, which will promote the collision of human ideas and innovation."

Media reporters kept waving their pens to record this historic moment.

A young reporter said excitedly: "In the future, news reports will no longer have a single perspective. We can integrate global information resources to present a more diverse and three-dimensional world to the audience. For example, when reporting on an international conflict, we can collect voices from different countries at the same time to allow the audience to understand the truth of the event more comprehensively."

Ordinary people are also immersed in beautiful visions of the future.

An old man who loves history had a gleam in his eyes. He said with emotion: "I have always been interested in the history of ancient Rome. In the past, I could only learn some fragments through books. Now with the Internet, I can see high-definition pictures of Roman ruins, expert explanation videos, and even exchange experiences with people who also love Roman history. This is incredible!"

The text in the chat box on the computer screen is still jumping...

[Let's talk about the significance of real-time communication! In the past, the only way to contact distant relatives was through letters or occasional long-distance calls. The waiting and distance made people feel helpless. But now, no matter where your relatives are on the earth, you can communicate in real time through the Internet. 】

[Text transmission is just the first step. In the future, as our technology matures and the hardware network becomes richer... then you will be able to see their smiles and hear their voices, as if they are right next to you.]

[This is also of great significance to the business field! Companies can communicate efficiently with global partners, transmit information and discuss decisions instantly, greatly improving work efficiency. Scholars are no longer restricted by geography and can exchange research results with their peers at any time to jointly promote academic progress. ]

An entrepreneur could not help but say: "This is simply a revolution for our company. In the past, there were always time differences and information lags when communicating with foreign customers. Now with the real-time communication network, we can better meet customer needs and expand the international market."

A young scholar also said excitedly: "In the past, in order to attend an international academic conference, it took a lot of time and money to travel. Now with the Internet, we can attend conferences online and communicate with experts and scholars around the world, which will greatly promote the development of academic research."

[The greatness of the Internet also lies in the fact that it provides an unlimited stage for human creativity! ]

【Artists can display their works online and gain appreciation and feedback from audiences around the world; musicians can hold online concerts and let people from different countries listen to beautiful melodies together; writers can interact with readers in real time and inspire more creative inspiration.】

【At the same time, ordinary people can also share their lives, insights and creativity through the Internet, making the world more colorful. 】

【Ladies and gentlemen, today is a great day, Times News is with you all! 】

The atmosphere was warm and hopeful.
People seemed to see a bright future woven by the Internet. This press conference, like a bright star in the night sky, illuminated the way forward for mankind.

Pah pah pah pah——

The applause was like waves and thunder and lasted for a long time!
